Pair of Antique Maw & Co Broseley Salop Tiles
About the Item
A pair of antique late 19th century Maw & Co tiles from Broseley Salop workshops in Shropshire.
In turquoise and dark navy blue majolica glaze, one 6-inch tile is decorated with the portraits of Greek noblemen wearing an olive wreath, together with the companion tile depicting the profile of a female wearing a fruiting vine wreath.
Dating to circa 1880, these striking tiles have been in use for over 140 years and as such have a characterful, timeworn look.
The perfect decorative set for modern and period properties looking to add vibrancy and charm.
There is a makers mark to the reverse side.
Maw & Co
Maw & Co. was founded in 1850 by George Maw and his brother Arthur. Over the next 30 years, the business would grow into one of the most influential English floor tile manufacturers in the industry, Maw & Co. tiles decorating properties and establishments across the globe.
Initially based in Worcester, the business relocated to the Benthall Works in Broseley, Shropshire in 1852. Here they made their highly sought after encaustic tiles while experimenting with majolica glazes, transfer print, hand painting and relief tiles. In 1883, the business expanded, relocating again to a new premises in Jackfield.
At the end of the 19th century, Maw & Co. was one of the largest tile factories in the world, trading for a further 70 years before closing in 1970.
